Haha, I think one of my ex-colleague, Nizam, has similar looks with Aaron!

Haha, got similarity?
Anyway, Aaron is young.. like 17 years old. Though he sings ok at times but I think the other contestants are just so much stronger. Casey James (Goldilocks!) seemed to be the judges (and perhaps crowd) favourite for male contestants.
I liked the segment from last week where the other contestants describe one another and I guess they're pretty spot-on! Casey's most outstanding visual is his hair, height and overall good looks. It helps that he plays the guitar well and has a good voice ;)
Casey James, looking good and as Andrew Garcia once said, "With lights shining at the back of his golden locks, he looks like an angel" I thought that was wickedly funny!
However, early judges favourite Andrew Garcia seemed to be losing his momentum. Last week he sang with his back to the judges as he took the small area behind the judges to sing to the crowd. A case of giving back to his fans out there maybe but I did think it was a tad impolite to sing with your back to the judges? Hey, perhaps I'm Asian and its a values thingie I guess...
Andrew singing "Straight Up" that made the judges sit up and take notice of him during audition round
Andrew Top 9 Performance
Tim Urban could belong to Zac Efron kind of category but maybe it's too early, but I think out of the male contestants, Tim, Big Mike, Aaron and Lee Dewyze could be the next to be out... Some could be out not due to their vocals but simply lack of votes.
As of now, the remaining girls could produce the next American Idol.. who will be the next Kelly Clarkson with eight top 10 pop singles in the US and worldwide album sales over 22 million?
Crystal Bowersox is consistent in all her performances. Strong vocals and has a style of her own, which is remisniscent of the hippy era. She makes it look so effortlessly, her singing. Haha! Katie Stevens and Tim Urban makes a cute couple :P It is easy to write off Katie but her Top 9 performance was good!
Katie singing "Let It Be"
But I like Siobhan Magnus. The same way I liked Adam Lambert! Loud personality (but then she looked kinda sweet also.. so that's a contradiction to the nose ring and tattoos!) and even louder voice! Muahahahaha! But it is sure pressurizing to have that kind of expectation stuck onto you. It's like everytime I watch her perform, I kinda expect that she would belt out her high scream or something like that.. everytime. Although judges always say they would like to see different sides of the contestants but from the comments, it would sound as though subconsciously we expect that louder side of her to shine through as well. So, she's got to find a way to work her signature into all her performances as well as make it different for the listeners and viewers.
